Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 61 The Dark Side of the Moon
When a humanoid pseudo-lunar creature meets me, it will awaken its consciousness and know that it is a pseudo-lunar creature.

Then why did the company bring her along?

Obviously, I have eliminated Feng Hui himself, and there is only the real her left in this world...

"You're hiding a secret from me."

Li Daosheng speaks frankly.

Feng Hui nodded, and she also did not hide anything: "I can't tell you everything I know, because I also can't confirm whether you, who is beside me at this moment, are also a pseudo-moon creature."

The cold air lingered in this old house, and Li Daosheng felt the chill go straight to his heart.

He was quite surprised. "You mean, if my pseudo-moon creature also appeared, would it also have the memories of the Thirteenth Moon? Or even the same abilities as me?"

"Well," Feng Hui nodded, "so I can't tell whether you are the real Li Daosheng."

At this point, Li Daosheng suddenly looked at her with a smile.

"Then I understand why you were suddenly found by the company."

Feng Hui was stunned for a moment, her expression changed, she looked a little annoyed, with silver light flashing in her eyes, as if she was making some decision.

"Want to kill me to silence me?" Li Daosheng approached her. If she really wanted to take action, now would be the best opportunity.

"You're quite certain that the Lunar Creature possesses the memories of the Thirteenth Moon. There's only one answer: either you yourself are Feng Hui's Lunar Creature, or... there's a connection between you and your Lunar Creature."

Li Daosheng's tone was not aggressive, but it made Feng Hui sigh softly: "You win."

"What have I won? I'm just a poor stranger who's new to your precious land, caught up in a hunt without knowing anything," Li Daosheng smiled. "Are you sure you won't kill me? I know your biggest secret: a human with a mysterious connection to your own moon-like creatures. This must be huge news for your world, right?"

"So," Li Daosheng touched his chin, "your death was also planned by you and your pseudo-moon creature. Let me think... before we died, we probably didn't know about the Thirteenth Moon's existence. So, you really did die with the determination to die."

"Your Lunar Creature is willing to cooperate with you on this matter. This shows that within your shared memories, there is something more important than your own lives, which is a consensus."

"And your death will lead to only one outcome: Lunar Creatures will become completely yours, earning the company's trust..."

"So, what you and your moon-like creatures want is within the company?"

"do not talk!"

Feng Hui suddenly lost his composure and yelled.

She rarely had such moments.

Li Daosheng shut his mouth tactfully.

But he had already guessed it almost exactly in his heart.

What is this huge secret that can make the main body and the pseudo-moon creature choose to cooperate and even be willing to sacrifice their lives for it?
"If you hadn't saved me time and time again, I would have killed you." Feng Hui's murderous intent was no joke, but it was indeed full of helplessness.

"I understand. In order to prevent you from killing me in the future, I will definitely save you more times if I have the chance."

Li Daosheng's personality is indeed different from when he was in the Yize world. Feng Hui looked at him, and this man himself seemed to have not noticed anything unusual.

However, perhaps he was too nervous in the Yize world, and this is the real him?
In short, it was impossible for her to kill Li Daosheng, but he was so perceptive that he actually discovered a corner of the secret that she had only discovered after more than ten years.

"Now that I'm back alive, this matter can't continue according to what she and I envisioned. I'm not afraid of death. What about you? Your world has its own secrets. As you said, you're just a stranger. This matter... has nothing to do with you."

"I'm going to check it myself." Feng Hui took a deep breath and said firmly.

"Okay, I won't get involved," Li Daosheng agreed decisively, "but can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"In theory, I should return to the Thirteenth Month in seven days. If you truly die this time and the anchor point of your world still exists, perhaps I and others will return to your world in the future." "Tell me everything you know, and then perhaps we can fulfill your last wish."

Although these words are rough but the truth is there, if you think about it carefully, they are indeed a bit too rough.

Li Daosheng was clearly telling her that she was going to die.

He understands too well what it's like to be a person who is determined to die.

Feng Hui heard this and thought carefully about what he said.

She never minded verbal offense; in her opinion, outspoken offense was far more meaningful than smooth but useless official rhetoric.

"The second moon in the sky, they gave it a name." She suddenly said.

"What?" Li Daosheng almost didn't react.

"Zorlena, that's the name of the new moon. It's said to be the name of an ancient goddess. Those who meet her will gain greater strength, speed, health, a longer life, and even all sorts of incredible abilities under her gaze."

Feng Hui looked into Li Daosheng's eyes, speaking every word as if he was giving his last words.

"In the end, people do find new selves."

“But in the ancient stories, all those who have gained a new self are actually the people in Zorrina’s mirror.”

"The real them are all trapped on the other side of the mirror."

"And those people in the mirror who thought they were themselves began to collapse as time passed. They came from the mirror world, and their order was completely opposite to that of the human world."

"They can't get used to the human world. Even after the person behind the mirror dies, their sanity completely collapses, and they become complete man-eating monsters."

Feng Hui told such a story.

Li Daosheng listened carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking about something.

"The city of Tanding is currently doing just that."

"Every night, there is always someone who shines in the moonlight, and there is always someone who gives birth to another self."

"Li Daosheng," Feng Hui's voice was a little cold, "Have you ever thought about how many real humans still exist in Tanding City today?"

Before he could answer, Feng Hui's body began to tremble: "No one knows, but I... found out by accident."

"Almost half of the people in the entire city of Tandin have been replaced with pseudo-moon creatures!"

"When the moon-like creatures encounter their true selves, their cannibalistic instincts awaken. This is a misconception. They simply want to merge with their human selves."

"This desire fuels their appetite, but if they truly devour their own bodies, their sanity will completely collapse, their memories will vanish, and they will become complete monsters."

"So, between humans and the moon-like creatures that replicated them, it's not a relationship of kill and be killed, where only one can survive."

"If the Lunar Creature wants to live a clear and free life, it must ensure that it cannot encounter its original body, nor can it allow its original body to die."

"So... they plan to keep all of humanity in captivity!"

Feng Hui pointed to the sky, where there was no moon at the moment.

"The cage their gods built for humans is right there..."

"The far side of the moon."
